• Take some time out to just sit & read a book or something
• Try to get an early night

Must crack on now, lots to do & I really need to sort some of these items out rather then continuously carrying them over to the next day!

Afternoon all

My list yesterday went like this

Today I will
Polish and hoover Didn't do that Grandkids coming this aft so no point till they've been
Tidy kitchen Did that
Read a bit of my xmas book Did a little bit of that
Go for a run Did that today
Sleep No extra sleep but slept well last night
Watch a bit of telly yes did that
Not drink coke did that and continue to eat well Definately didn't do that :mad:
look at finances for the coming month - I've been avoiding that one for the last 2 days Better than I thought
do some washing and dry on the airer Did that
wear a jumper and socks in the house to save turning on the heating Did that
all the shopping done so don't need to go out at all so a nsd I should think Did that.

Then I added

De scaled the kettle - it rattled when I picked it up this morning
Had a rattle through the fridge and cooked fried rice to use up left over basmati from curry on Wednesday night. Dinner done.
Done a couple of surveys (64p)
Updated my spreadsheets
Counted up my penny pot ready to be put into my bank account and then to savings Changed my mind, going to pay it towards a credit card
Sent off a purely creative claim no for another tenner Did that whilst out on a run this morning

Today I'm going to

• Do another lot of washing - it's in already including my yukky run clothes
• Put dry washing away
• Cook a birthday roast for my son who is 32 today :eek::eek::eek: and my daughter who is going to make me a grandma for the 3rd time this year :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
• Carry on not drinking diet coke - I deliberately left it in the boot of the car.
• I've already put another size 20 top on Ebay (too big for me now I'm a 16)
• Will parcel up the 3 items I sold yesterday ready to be posted tomorrow
• Sold some dvds and cds to music magpie - got just over a tenner for them. So all in all about £50 towards the clearing the credit card pots this weekend

No wonder I'm tired. Mind you DNMS you're helping me to feel positive. Thank you for giving me the nudge to get up off my behind and go for my run today.

New to all this but I've just taken £26 out of an old savings account and paid it off a CC. I have also asked for a £10 refund from an old web site I had - 2 years after they asked me to submit bank details so that they could transfer the money. Also, going to look for something in the freezer for dinner tonight rather than the usual take-away.

Every little helps!
